Thank you my friend. "O" yes the (Struck) Dozer. I remember those in the Magazines I got that same (Fix a belt) links for my Dynahoe-190 If you ever saw the system off that (353) the Hydraulic pump was in front. Have to take or disconnect the Shaft just to change belts. BE was smart they put 2 belts on every single belt drive.
I'd like to share my whole life,interests,and collections,but just dont like the exposure.I can draw/paint a bit,play piano/guitar,own a real business that is well known.I just keep this channel for iron pretty well,and im not on any social media at all anywhere,but thanks for the kind words.
What is the mfr and part number of those belts? Been looking to get a bunch on the truck for years now but never could figure out which ones to get. For my application it would be mainly small Japanese diesels with 11mm wide fan belts.
I used to have two of those. One had a transaxle with brake bands. Those belts on the MD50 were a size AA-66 I bought them from JayDee enterprises. Sold them years ago. I miss those things.
Today I pushed more snow and fried the forward drive left hand belts.Picked up more link belt-a 25 foot box for $335 with taxes.Thinking it will work fine with all new link belts,the two from the other day seem to be working fine now.A breeze to change.
@@skadill I think you'll have better luck with those green belts. I wanted to convert my better one to all hydraulic but I was low on funds and even if I could afford it, my track chains were rusted to shit. So it would have been sitting again with broken tracks. So I sold them. It's a shame thinking that in a few more months I had the money to put new tracks and convert to hydraulic power. It would be real nice to have one to go with my ingersoll 6018 loader backhoe and Jacobsen Uv-4 articulated dump utv.
If the belt gives you issues again, try reversing the direction the links are facing currently to see if it makes a difference. Who knows, maybe that stuff works better one way rather than the other.
there was some ink type arrow marks on many of the links,I tried to make the pull/load belt direction got the same way,assuming its right,but not 100% certain
super convienient, but the single reverse ones slip and will burn up quick. I sold this some time ago, you never really get them under control, where they are turn key useable.
@@skadill thanks for the feed back. I scored mine for 750 bucks and it needs a motor. Normally around here they are 2500 and up. So my plan is to have a little fun with it and flip it.
@@1620GarageAndFarm just a small block chevy power steering pump,easy build, the cylinder is the original power steering cylinder, just raid an old car for the setup
we put one on a drill press years ago for pretty much the same reason didnt want to take it apart they are a little tricky to get together though but yes a real time saver
We had one back in the '70s. It was a great idea but not very reliable. Tracks flopped off, belts broke, bushings wore so belts flipped off. We didn't have very good luck with it.
If you have too much tension on those link belts they will eat your pulleys. I have found they are extremely abrasive and they will eat an aluminum pulley in no time. Those look steel so you should be okay.
the final drive is with a chain,but the belt speeds may be too quick for a #50 industrial chain,(not certain)and i know chains often leave sprockets as well.
It needs to be belt drive so when the tension is off a given direction they slide or slip until needed , chain can't do that you would have forward and reverse fighting them selves instantly.
